Singapore February 2018: Toyota reclaims lead in market down 15.3%

The Singaporean new car market continues to freefall in this start of 2018 with February registrations down 15.3% leading to a year-to-date volume down 21.2% to 10.786 units. Toyota (including Lexus) reclaims the top spot it held over the FY2017 but drops 17% to 17.9% whereas Honda falls 41% to 17% but remains in the lead year-to-date at 19.5% share vs. just 16.6% for Toyota. Below Mercedes (-12%) and Mazda (-34%) camping on their January positions, Hyundai (+164%), BMW (+36%) and Kia (+108%) go spectacularly against the grain with very robust year-on-year gains. Further down, Subaru (+93%), Porsche (+83%), Peugeot (+55%) and Audi (+18%) also impress with double-digit gains.
